Einband leicht berieben. - To the fifth-century Athenians Ajax was a great hero in three ways. First, his statue stood in their Agora as an eponymous hero of one of the ten tribes instituted by Cleisthenes. Secondly, he and his father, Telamon, had been specially invoked to help the Greeks before the victory at Salamis; and afterwards the Greeks dedicated a Phoenician trireme to him. Thirdly, he was one of the major heroes of the Iliad and the Epic Cycle, second only to Achilles as a champion of the Greeks. So his fame was securely established at Athens in tribal cults, military history and epic poetry. ISBN 0862920094.
